Notes:
Marshall Lovelady could have been born in Hanover Co., Va or in Orange Co., NC. He married Hannah. His will is dated 10 April 1792. It is witnessed by Joseph Lovelady, John Mahan, and Barefoot Runyon. It was probated fourth Monday, January, 1, Jefferson County, Tn, Minute Book 1, p.8, Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville. Microfilm Roll 35. He is probably buried in the Shiloh Cemetery, Sevier County, Tennessee, although his grave in not marked. (ref Sevier County, TN. Will book 2 pp 117-118 "will of Elizabeth Lovelady"
He was a Revolutionary soldier. (Ref: Tennessee Soldiers in the Revolution by Penolope Johnson Allen.)
The first record for Marshall Lovelatty was in 1754 when he was a chain carrier on a land survey for Thomas Lovelatty in Orange County, NC. Later records place him in Orange County l763-4. (Orange Co Court Minutes 1752-1766 by Shields)
From North Carolina Land Grants in South Carolina by Brent Holcomb pg 88 As is shown described as being on N W branch of Broad River below Loveletty's land. On pg. 80 we find Marshall in Mecklinburg Co NC with his 200 acres of land on Abbertons Creek at Thomas Loveletty's corner 28 April 1768. In 1769 he is shown as a chain bearer along with John Loveletty. [File #2374, Grant no.134 Bk 23 p.208 Mecklinburg Co NC] On page 157 Tryon Co.,a survey done for George Pee lists Marshel Lovelety as one of the chain bearers. Also on the same page, a survey for Joseph Neal Feb 3, .1769 shows John Loveletty and Marshal Loveletty as chain bearers.
15 April 1775 both Marshall and John sign a petition to the King for relief. The lands were in dispute with South Carolina. This is the precursor to the Mecklinburg Declaration. We also find John and James Mahan in the same area at the same time. In 1770 Marshall purchased 200 acres from Thomas Lovelatty for 5 shillings. He sold this land to John Lovelatty in 1771 for 20 pounds.
June 24, 1779 # 1480 Greene County 100 acres for Marshall Lovelady, joining Marshall Lovelady on the Cedar Branch. 1782 North Carolina grant #212 to George Taylor for 200 acres of Frank Holleys, on branch of Nolachucky River includes "an improvement made by Maltial Loveletty". (Washington Co, TN Deeds 1775-1800)
1787 Grant 100 acres on the Cedar Branch, Green Co Tn bordering Barnette Brumley granted by State of North Carolina. This land was sold to John Bird on 27 January 1790 (Green Co Tn Ieeed Bk 2 pg 165)
In 1780 he, along with Jacob Reynolds and David Reynolds, regained arms and ammunition which had been taken away form them. (Washington Co TN County Court Minute Books. Vol 1 1778-1799 pg 125)
Marshall was enumerated on an inventory of taxable property in Washington County, Tenn. in 1781 with horses and cattle valued at 650 Pounds. but no land [Early East Tennessee Taxpayers by Pollyana Creekmore)
He was on the 1783 tax list in Greene County, North Carolina which became Tennessee in 1796. This means that his children were born in North Carolina. His wife's maiden name is generally accepted as Ware (no relation to Jane Wear who m. Thos. Lovelady) The proof is said to be in the Zylks Bible, but the whereabouts of this Bible is unknown. The Houston family papers show a Thomas Wier witness to George Houston will of Sept 18, 1778 in Mecklinburg Co. Thomas Wier was brother to Margaret, widow of George Houston. 1773 in Craven Co George Weir and Mary his wife sell land to Thomas Houston. This same land had been sold to Samuel Weir in 1790. This shows that there were Weir families in the same area, and could have possibly been kin to Marshall's wife Hannah.
